Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Using Bismuth/Bismuth Selenide Nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: Solar-driven photoelectrochemical water splitting is a promising method for generating renewable and sustainable energy, as it effectively harnesses sunlight to convert it into chemical bonds. Among the many materials explored for photoelectrochemical water oxidation, metal selenides stand out because of their narrow band gaps. In this study, we successfully developed a high-performance heterojunction nanostructure comprising a p-type Bi/Bi₂Se₃ photocathode using a facile solvothermal method for efficient water splitting. Various characterization techniques confirmed the structural and optical properties of the fabricated Bi/Bi₂Se₃ nanocomposite.
